Spanish Oaks Campground

According to the SpanishFork Recreation Dept. folks, the Spanish Oaks Campground is only intended for tent camping. There are several 'make shift' spots outside the campground that people use...but I don't know what happens if you are found there. They want RV folks to use the Canyon View Campground (aka: asphalt parking lot with services) that is 3-4 miles away. This info is as of 8/15/2022.

Quick note; there are TWO separate areas with different $$ for each area at this campground. Yes there is a steep hill to the area but most rigs should be able to get here without an issue.

RV/TT/etc area ($25/night):
We had just about the whole campground to ourselves in late May. Yes it is basically a large parking area with hookups (water/30A/20A) but all the stuff to around the area make up for it. Plenty of trails for hiking and mountain biking. There are even dedicated downhill biking paths with curves and jumps. With the reservoir right next door, camping here is perfect for going back for a nap or hanging out. Right next to this area is the Spanish Fork Gun Club where they do a lot fo clay pigeon practice. The noise really isn't noticeable being that the camping is a little ways off from the range. I like the campground and would come back again!

Tent Only area ($10/night):
This whole loop is paved and every site has a cement fire ring. It is situated right at the base of the trail system so it's perfect for bringing your bike and riding all day long.

Here is my video of the campground showing each of the areas, activities, speed test, etc.

We drove our Jeep up the very steep hill through a neighborhood to check it out first. It was mid day of Memorial day and was VERY busy. We asked and price is now $25. We decided to stay at the camp ground down the hill since we were just staying one night to run errands in town. Was a bit too busy for us and the hill was too much for just one night. Would stay here though if we were staying more than a night.

My wife found this place after a long day of driving. It's not the easiest place to get to—steep uphill climb, but it has a decent view out over the valley. Nice campground host. Electric and water for $20 a night for our campsite, but others are cheaper. We stayed here in a 31' overall travel trailer and I did not have to unhook. Virtually deserted. Quiet. Dark. Good stargazing. Gravel and dirt. No picnic table or fire rings.

Hard to find and up a steep grade. I was expecting a nice site from the pictures on the website. Most looked pretty unlevel and extremely tight to try to get into. Pretty much a one way road and very steep.

I called and asked if I would have a problem on a Saturday to find a spot and the woman who answered said no. There were no people camping there. It's right near a gun club. She didn't ask what I was driving because if she did I would have known not to try to stay there.
